Responding to Mental Health in Scotland – A 10 year vision

September 19, 2016

During August/September 2016 the Scottish Government consulted on their proposed framework and priorities to transform mental health in Scotland.

The VHS response focused around 3 priorities that we think can help deliver any transformation: giving the third sector an explicit role at the core of the mental health strategy, embedding co-producing preventative measures with service users, and focusing on tackling health inequalities. You can read the full response here:
